Cultivars
Links in italic have pictures of the cultivar and / or of that cultivar’s olives. Black text indicates that we no longer have examples of that cultivar in our collection. Mostly because they died out in our winter storms.

What’s in a name?
In the Old World, there are very strong regional traditions of which olive tree cultivars are grown. When the same cultivar is planted in different places there seems to be a tendency to rename it with a new name, perhaps in a new language, perhaps to just say: “This is our tree now. It’s what -we- grow”. Many cultivars are also old enough that names and indeed even languages were not standardized, and from one river valley to the next the names may be totally different.
After giving this much thought, we have decided to list our cultivars by the name they were given when we acquired them; listing alternative names from recognized sources next. Names in this color are from the Olea Databases site. Names from "World Catalog of Olive Varieties" are given in this color. When the source of the cultivar is from the [U. S.] National Clonal Germplasm Repository, the Accession ID (e.g. DOLE0131) is given.
Disclaimer
We have at least one tree of each cultivar listed growing in our experimental groves; and we strive to say just what we know to be true. When we feel potentially valuable knowledge is available that we don’t know by direct observation, we will try to use words like “reputably said” when we share such information. You should take what we say with a grain of salt since what we say is what we have observed here. Your results will vary! Cold hardiness, maturity dates, productivity, disease and pest problems, etc; may well be very different for you... |
